WHY WE'RE PSYCHED ABOUT BOSTON

Not only was Boston ranked the best city to launch a startup in last year, but from Boston cream pie, to Junior Mints, to Sam Adam's Beer, Massachusetts is home to a large number of legendary food and beverage brands.

We have leading academic institutions and academic food focused programs, a strong food and beverage product history, diverse funding sources from angel investors to world renowned venture capitalists, foundations, loan programs and more. We have the fastest growing restaurant industry per capita in the United States, as well as distribution and manufacturing infrastructure to support business growth. And don't forget, the early adopter demographic to support all of it.

Once we looked around, we realized how many folks were working on food initiatives. We catalogued them for you in our Boston Food Network!
